The dogs found scarred and sick with disease last week behind a Central Islip home are ready for adoption at the Town of Islip Animal Shelter, the Suffolk County SPCA said Wednesday.

Seven adult pit bulls and one puppy, chained and kept outdoors in their own filth, were rescued by the animal protection group on Friday at 255 Atlantic St., the SPCA said.
